Answer: The maximum possible speed v is √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m

Explanation: You could be referring to the provided explanation, despite the fact that the question isn't comprehensive. When a photon collides with the surface of any metal, it transmits all of its energy to the electron in the atom. The collision causes the electron to travel with a certain amount of kinetic energy. This is referred to as the photoelectric effect. The maximum kinetic energy is calculated using Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect:

K.E. = hν - Ф

½ mv² = hν - Ф

Hence the maximum possible speed is:

v = √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m

For more information on the photoelectric effect refer to this link: brainly.com/question/25027428

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

In the United States, where can volcanoes be found?
Sedbober [7]
<span>The volcanoes of USA are located along the west coast, at the subduction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. During the 20th century there were only two eruptions in continental USA; Lassen in 1915, and Mt St Helens in 1980. Alaska and Hawaii contain currently active volcanoes. hope this helps:)</span>
